***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

Not too shabby:

It goes up a bit at one point because i connected to my computer via usb to upload/download some files.

Please resize the screens before posting dude, no need for them to be so big and they take up lots of space, not great for mobile users. Cheers. :)
 
My average battery life through a working day seems to be 15-18 hours now which is consistant. -91 to -97dBm for signal strength but always 4~ bars and H or H+ while at work. At home it's -70s to -81. For 10 hours or so it's solely on mobile network. At home it's on Wireless-N.

Screen on time varies between 2-4 hours.

This is with or without undervolt and overclock. I'm now running stock volts and clocks with Siyah 1.2.6. OMEGA 5.2 btw.

All games syncing as well as social apps and lots of Google services.



I also had a lol moment, kept hearing my phone beep and bong when it was sat on my work desk....confused, I disabled all motion settings in case it was that as I have smart alert enabled among others but still beeped and bonged....turns out my bank card in my wallet is contactless enabled with an NFC chip built in and when I placed the phone on my wallet it would attempt to read the bank card through the wallet randomly!
 
I have this symbol on my sister's S3 in the top left hand corner, in the status bar...anyone know what the hell it means?

Hmm, how can this happen? I was messing around with the camera about an hour ago and it was absolutely fine. Now I try it again and a black smudge appears, despite the glass being clean.

No idea how dust would have got inside there. :(

Edit: Hmm, seems to be different now which suggests it's on the glass, however I can't see anything on it at all. :confused:

woohoo got Mass Effect working with a combination of bluestack/winimage and plenty of time googling as to what the hell i am doing :p
 
Same here with updates, but i also put on Syiah, it fails when phone downloads the update with verification error and Kies just downloads it and fails without error.

It looks like i would have to download the full 680mb version and flash that in odin then re root

Will probably just go custom rom eventually

edit LOL and on that note Checkrom is out ! http://checkrom.com/threads/gt-i9300-xxlf2-4-0-4-checkrom-evohd%E2%84%A2-v1.808/
 
So i have successfully managed to root my S3 using CF-Root however i cannot get CWM to install? i've tried installing just the recovery partition through odin, appears to work ok but when booting into recovery mode, i get the standard android recovery. anyone had anything similar?
 
ES Explorer users - any way to access the external SD card within here or do I need to rely on the Samsung My Files app?
 
Whats the latest official firmware for the S3 at the moment? My wifes S3 keeps getting the message to update but it doesn't install due to the phone being rooted, so I need to do it manually. Also, can I update it with mobile odin?
